Another fabulous recipe from the Deceptively Delicious cookbook that I loved is for Chocolate Chip Cupcakes. They have 1 cup canned pumpkin (don't even have to puree - just open the can!) and 1/2 c. yellow squash puree. It calls for 2 1/4 c. all purpose flour, so I used approx. 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour, and only 3/4 c. all-purpose flour. Skipped the frosting and called them chocolate chip muffins, rather than cupcakes. Huge hit with my kids, their friends, and their friends' mommies!
Try this: Make muffins in mini-muffin tins. Now you don't have the issue of your kids eating the muffin tops and leaving the rest. They think mini-muffins are really fun - and they like that they get more than one! If you're working on portion control, eating 2-3 mini muffins can be more fun for you, too - and you'll consume less calories than when eating a whole muffin.
